A nice quick bugfix. I am truly inspired.

Before color customization, I made an Earth/Rad Controller who is a plant. Not a Plant Controller, mind you. She IS a plant, a tree actually, using green-tinted "plant pheromones" and "forest energy" (Rad) and heaving the earth itself with her roots (Earth control).

I always liked Propel even before they significantly improved it...and improve it they did:

• Added a bonus mechanic to player versions of Lift and Propel. These powers now deal a small amount of additional damage, called "Impact!", to targets recently held by any player's Gravity Distortion power.
• Reduced the cast time of Propel from 3.5 seconds down to 2.07 seconds.
• Quickened the projectile speed of Propel.
• The portal and random objects in Gravity Control - Propel now spawn in front of the caster, instead of directly at their feet.
• Color-customized Propel projectiles now properly synchronize with the power's in-game effects.

Therefore I conclude it's time I made a Gravity Controller.

The question is, what to pair with it? I have an older Grav/Storm on hiatus at level 12 that I could pick up, but I also want to make a new dark/ Controller, and Local Man made a pretty compelling case for dark/Storm here.

So perhaps I should seek variety. What else would folks recommend to pair with Gravity? The Controller should be capable of soloing, although also teaming. Strictly PVE.

This occurred to me when Brawling. Brawl alternates the right and left fist, and if you have a shield, sometimes a shield bash or kick. I'm not sure whether it's random or strictly alternating.

Anyway, it seems like this tech could be used for sets that have more than one animation (at this point I think it's a maximum of two animations, X or Y, but some day there may be more). I'd like to see an additional option for each power in the customization screen:

• Original Animation
• Alternate Animation
  
• Variable Animation

If you opt for that setting, sometimes your Super Strength character would Foot Stomp and sometimes he'd use the alternate Ground Punch animation.

I know the Standard Code rule applies, but this doesn't appear to be very different from the choices we have now.

This seems most workable with animations, because the range of choices is pretty limited. might work better than random colors. I leave it to the reader whether a variable color scheme for custom colored powers would be too resource intensive (I can imagine that reporting new colors each time to all players within view might strain the server).

Note that, once you have hidden the two icons (Paragon Market and Paragon Rewards), you can still access either screen easily enough -- they're at the bottom of the list that pops up when you use the backslash command (\). So you can get to them quickly even after hiding them -- no need to worry about losing track of how to get there when you want to. Hide away!

Well, I could be misremembering the bonus damage, although I feel like I've seen it on this character. I'm guessing that, if I picked the rewards in the wrong order (THANKS NEW E-MAIL REWARD SYSTEM!!!) I can't undo it?

I have a magic-origin Controller at 21 running through Talos Island and my Blackwand isn't doing the bonus damage for my origin. I can't recall when it stopped but I remember it working earlier in this character's career. Could it be the types of enemies I'm facing -- Warriors and Freakshow? Or is something buggy?

Not very experienced with Illusion Controllers and a complete newbie to /Time.

Just hit 20, trying to decide between Time Stop, for another ST hold (albeit on a longish timer) or Distortion Field. Any opinions welcomed.

I sure would love to do business with these people in real life.

Excellent! Woo-hoo! *wolf whistle* Bark, bark bark! Owoooooo!

Fixing the Hami-Os was a solid idea and I don't mind it.

Just last night a teammate commented, "This game isn't troubled by a LACK of sound effects."

Here is a particularly good one.

Heroside, outside of the Shadow Shard, I was going to say, someone in Independence Pooooooooooooooooort. But i think it's more accurate to say everyone in Independence Pooooooooooooooooort.

Question, assuming it's even possible to determine the answer: is this one of those bugs that only affects characters we log into? Or has it already affected all our characters?

Because re-setting-up my Combat Attributes windows on each character is tedious and requires me to reconstruct from memory which ones I am monitoring on each character, and if staying away from my mains until they fix the bug would save me from having to do it on those characters, I will consider doing so.

I'm just going to assume it had something to do with Lord Nemesis.

Claws/WP Scrapper. Scrapper Claws (unlike Brute) has super-fast recharge already.
